WE'VE FOUND THE CAUSE!!

[Moh]

The US Geographical Survey's website reported a quake of the magnitude of 4.7 and said the epicentre was 30 miles (50km) south of Kingston-upon-Hull.

Bleh :(

"British earthquakes have killed 11 people since 1580. Six were killed by falling stones, two fell from upper floors, two died of shock and one committed suicide.

The country experiences a magnitude 5 earthquake on average every ten years. A magnitude 4 earthquake occurs on average every two to three years. "

LOL at the one who commited suicide, I don't really think that can be counted in the earthquake fatality statistics.

So yeah kids, I don't think we're gonna die, looking at the figures. :)

[JustHost-Glenn]

You have to admit... It's quite interesting when you're half asleep, next thing is a loud bang then you notice the room shaking.

I thought I was in some crazy dream until I stood up and almost fell back down again.

Yea, I thought i was dreaming as well :p Then I woke up hearing everything in my room rattling.

[JustHost-Glenn]

If I was wide awake, I would have found it fun but because I wasn't I was quite shaken *Pun intended* ...

But oh well, I want another now so I can ring up Sky News and talk to them... She says "Ummmm" alot, I would love to have a battle with her... I'm quite good at that.

[.Daniel]

Dont lie Glenn, you we're stoned - this whole earthquake was a figment of your imagination! -- Sure the room was 'banging' (stoner)

;) Lol... I though I was going mad, I live right on the south coast and felt a little wobble for about 5 seconds, it felt like a REALLY big lorry was driving past at speed lol.

[lew!]

im in bristol and my mum was like OMG I THOUGHT I WOS BEIN POSSESSED CUS I THOUGHT I WAS LEVITATIN

"go back to sleep mum its an earthquake"
lmao.

[JustHost-Glenn]

So this Sky News woman is actually eating and saying yum then? Wow...

[L!nK..]

The skynews women was falling asleep

[DJ-Vimto]

i felt it....thought it was our house collapsing or something (our house is many many years old) :O

[JustHost-Glenn]

Yeah, especially when talking to the oldish guy... I wondered whether he would ever shutup... She butted in though, that's probably why he did shutup.

[JustHost-Glenn]

One of them geologist, is on Sky News and has said the epicentre is close to the surface and is 15 miles north of Lincoln.

It has been felt from Greater London to North Yorks and has also been felt in Wales.

AfterShocks could occur, none have been registered yet and people are to stay on the look out.

They have only been registered in Britain, sorry you can't join in on our fun. :D

You could search "ban guns" and you would get your answer, pretty cool idea really. :eusa_whis


ALSO: Night mate ;)

Edit: British geological society registered it as 5.3 on the Richter scale.

[Scouse]

the woman is saying it was 5.3 now

[.Daniel]

Its getting higher - come on aftershock lol!!

That earthquake has the same power as one of these big boys:

Ouch!

Thanks to Glenn for that source!

[JustHost-Glenn]

Yeah it is creepy to think that it has that amount of power.

[Okeanos]

makes me laugh how people make huge deals out of stuff like this, it wasn't big, well for the UK it was moderate but on a global scale it was tiny

no injuries reported and damage confined to a few chimneys falling off

lol people on habbo where swearing planes had crashed landed and houses had fallen down

pmsl

[Kardan]

:x I felt it.

Considering I've never experienced an earthquake at night (then again, it's the biggest one I've even felt...) I hadn't a clue what was going on. Waking up (well, opening my eyes... just came back from my bathroom...) to a massive bang, a roar than violent shaking... Sheesh. Got up, looked outside my bedroom, realised a train hadn't crashed into my street and went downstairs...

Meh, I hadn't a clue what ws going on.

[Soka]

im from north east lincolnshire near louth/gainsborough area and i was in bed and i thought i was on a simulation ride lol then i woke up and and my bedroom was shaking and i thought my windows had smashed :( was a bit scared cos i didn't know *** was happening

measured 5.3 on rictor scale, which is quite bad taken from wikipedia:

Moderate - Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions. At most slight damage to well-designed buildings.

[Tomm]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7266136.stm

I felt it as well. I did not have a clue what was going off :P

[dirrty]

i woke up and thought the room was shaking and i thought i was going crazy LOL cuz i kept on blinking to see if i was still sleeping or not.

[e5]

it woke my mum up.

it was a tiny quake, by that they refer to shanty towns and huts

[Muniflex]

no injuries reported and damage confined to a few chimneys falling off

A chimney actually fell through a roof and landed on a man in bed, but he was only injured.

[Asher]

I thought God was punishing me or something

He was. It is all your fault!
Lol:P

Some low front or something is going to intercept with a high trough or w/e they are called causing cyclonic wind and rain to hit the coast. That's all I've heard so far, I'm not sure on the details yet. I dunno about all that trough crap so I just guessed what its called.

Earthquake was said to be again caused by global warming...
They said on Sky News and BBC news that heat caused the plates to move apart and then back together causing the earthquake.

As you know UK doe's not collide with any other plates.

[jesus]

I wouldn't blame global warming for that, earthquakes happen all over the world more regularly than England. They're probably just saying it's that to promote a 'cleaner environment' like they are with most other things. :rolleyes:

It has to do with the plates under us opening and then closing..?

[Moh]

Isn't that what plate colliding is? It shakes as they close again.
First Quake - When they collide or what ever
After Shock - When they straighten out :P

[Firehorse]

Dunno if this has already been said as I cba to read the thread...

On the news they said it was the biggest one in britains history. 5.2 on the richter scale or something similar.

It really baffles people why we are the country that has the most earthquakes when we aren't even on the edge of a plate.

[efq]

yeh. we arn't supposed to collide into other plates as most geologists show UK with no plates colliding... So it has to be a plate splitting and then going back together.. I don't know if the after shock has came yet? Anyway BBC showed a video of kids playing the WII at 1am and the earthquake happerned and you could hear glass smashing and they lost signal on the tv.

[Wootzeh]

Earthquakes have nothing to do with global warming...

Right, stress can still occur under the Earth's crust causing Earthquakes, it's just more common for it to be plates colliding/pulling apart :)

Global warming is in now way responsible :rolleyes:

And it isn't the biggest in history, that was 6.1 off the coast of Great Yarmouth.

[blanky12!]

I didn't feel it, my perrents though it was me trying to roll on the floor and wake up..

fat people :(

[edible]

i was awake, i was like omg!! everything was shaking proper.

[Prick]

I thought I was actually dreaming but I was watching shawn of the dead on itv2 and when everything shook I was just frozen in bed REMOVED
Yeah I was just frozen there (as I said) and then after it went on and there was a huge noise I just walked into my mums room and just said "Mum, why did my room just shake?" but then I remembered I put an extra £1 in the slot for the vibrate on my bed :P No that was a joke yeah and she was like yeah it just woke me up and I was like yeah I was watching shawn of the dead and it happened and she was like oh and I was like ya and then my sister came out her room and was liek WHAT THE **** HAPPENED!!! so I said that it was the apocalypse and she jumped out window and her face splattered in dog poo :)

Also if when plates rub together and cause earthquake when women rub their breasts together they don't make a tremor?

I thought it was pretty cool to experience.

[efq]

but the news said it hasn't full retrieved out from under the plate...?
So when it gives way again another after shock?

They said scotland slid under linconsire or summet making the south of UK slide upwards. So we are now a few CM's up in the air and scotland are few below :DDD when the plates slide out scotland will again rule us :(

So more aftershocks?

[jesus]

They seriously are weird. It's dead scary at the time. I hope the after-shocks come at a more appropriate time!

Its better to be ealier is what they say.

yeah but it would of been funny if it happened whilst we were at school. we'd have been sent home with any luck.

I'm sure once it started he started counting to see how long it lasted?

if my house starts shaking is i stand out of the way of falling objects... and then leave the house when its over.

When the earthquake struck I missed the bog

[jesus]

I just poo my pants to be honest. I didn't count the last one but I know it lasted a good 10 seconds and was noisy as hell.

apparently my house is built on a filled in bog. If the earth shakes I think I'm screwed!
